Fringe benefits

My lovely cameraman for my short film is off to perform at the Edinburgh Festival. On Wednesday night I took myself out of me SW London enclave and headed to NW10 to the Mason's Arms for the Scram Comedy night at the Mason's Arms Pub to view his 1 hour Edinburgh Fringe Festival show 'Wanchorman: Adventures in Tellyland', which is on at the Dragonfly, 52 West Port at 16:20 - almost everyday!

First up for the evening were the Oompah Brass with Max Klein presenting their Fringe Festival offering 'Blow up - the Credit Crunch Musical! It was a comedy version of a Mark Ronson cd. If you love brass instruments and the sound they create then you'll love this performance which is on at The GRV, 37 Guthrie Street. Again it is a 16:20 start and nearly everyday too.

I really enjoyed stepping out on a Wednesday and spending a £5 for a great laugh. I also manage to get free parking which meant a lime and soda to boot! I was driving... Seeing two Fringe previews made me wish I was going to Edinburgh.

Dave made me cry with laughter - I don't won't to give away his set but his TV appearances are real comedy gems. The selection of photos of the evening aren't great but since my blackberry is all I have in the camera stakes at the moment it was the best I could do.

Und moi after laughing so much I was aching.

Day to Night

Is there really the day to night item? I'm sure we all imagine the perfect selection that takes us from the office to that hot date! The whole point of the day to night outfit is to minimise taking a whole outfit to change into - yeah staff toilets anyone? To avoid pulling a mini suitcase behind you - effort, no what effort? And, finally not to alert your colleagues to your personal life unless you want to! A dress is the best day to night option as you can just take off the cardi and add some glam earrings and lipstick.

This Bette dress from Reiss, available in black online and a purple, which looks more like jet blue, in the stores, looks like a winner for the day to night category.
